ESCAPE THE GAME!

What better way is there to end this unusual school year than playing a video game with your students?

This is a set of online puzzles, games and activities that follow a video game script. You can choose your own tasks or you can get inspired from my list.

You can play this game with all your groups and levels, including exam preparation groups. For exam preparation groups you can choose exam prep listening tasks, use of English exercises, speaking tasks etc.

It's also linked to the ClassDojo characters and points. If you haven't worked with ClassDojo in your online classes you can improvise a bit by telling your students their best friends have been transformed into ClassDojo characters.

Your students have been mysteriously sucked into a video game and their ClassDojo characters have been trapped by a terrifying Ogre. They need to complete different tasks in order to save their friends and escape the game. They meet other game characters along the way, some are good and some are bad. Adventure, gold coins and magic spells are also spread all along the way.

You control the game. If you use ZOOM for your online classes you can also give permission to your students to control the mouse and the keyboard in certain activities.

The game has two levels. Take a sneak peek by clicking on the links below:

Level 1 VIDEO (aprox. 5min)

Level 2 VIDEO (aprox. 5min)

Here is the folder with all the resources you need - ESCAPE THE GAME

There are 9 tasks in total, a puzzle/brain teaser, a map and a ring. Certain activities have been especially created for this game: the MAP, the TREASURE CHEST PASSWORD and the RING.

Please watch the videos first so you know the order of the events. Then play the game. You can control the game with the arrow keys on your keyboard and you throw the magic spells with the SPACEBAR. Whenever you have a text box you have to click ENTER to continue.

LEVEL 1

The first task your students have to solve is a brain teaser/ PUZZLE. Have one prepared or get inspired from my list.

Then TASK 1, 2 and 3 follow. After you complete the third task you have to find the cave of the Ogre on the map. Here is the puzzle quiz for the MAP.

Task 4 and 5 come next. LEVEL COMPLETED!

LEVEL 2

The level starts with TASK 6 in order to open the TREASURE CHEST. Task 6 is actually a wonderful saying about friendship and the last word is the password. Click on the padlock and type in the password: HEART.

True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but never in HEART.

Task 7 has to be completed to get the Magic Spells Book. The wardens have to be defeated in order to get the keys. There are three keys. Key 1 comes with TASK 8 and key 2 with TASK 9 which is the last task.

To get out of the game students have to read the inscription on the MAGIC RING and say it out loud three times.

GAME OVER!

Students have returned to their lives and their ClassDojo characters are free.

If you want to make this moment memorable, give your students a ClassDojo Certificate. Here you have an editable template.

ClassDojo Certificate

A note on ClassDojo points: every time students make a mistake in a task they have to pay in ClassDojo points. You can set the number of points per mistake depending on the total number of points of the whole class and you can redeem the points to the whole class too.

My students have a lot of points for good behaviour, helping others, correct answers and participation in online classes this term so I thought it would be a good plan B to spend those points!

ENJOY THE GAME!
